I dont think you can go wrong with any CCW wheel. The 551s should look good ! See if you can find a pic on a C6 before you pull the trigger.

Rethinking CCW based on the maintenance to keep them clean. Would really like to find polished with clear coat. The c5 polished 5 spoke are clear coated and are easy to maintain. I see that there are some repos that are polished, but I'm sure they are real heavy. Maybe look around for some polished speedlines.
